Dual Monitor Colors

i use two lcd moniters that are not the same resolution or age (yes i know, but i can't afford to match them) and have found that it is nearly impossible to match them correctly so what i do is use two backgrounds, its really easy to do if you have an nvidia card, otherwise just throw two wallpapers next to eachother in the same image file and set it to tile, the good thing about this is that as long as you get the colors close, its really hard to notice the difference in colors/brightness. If you use the same wallpaper on both its really easy to notice if one is off. the only problem now is finding two wallpapers that complement eachother and go with your vs/litestep.

Hmm, that gives me an interesting idea of using one wallpaper and changing the color levels on one half to match across the two screens.

However, that won't work for themes, or anything else besides walls, for that matter. Anyone got anything else?

Took me a good 10 minutes to match my monitor colors, and I'm running VERY different screens, a Viewsonic P810 and Trinitron 500PS, both 21" CRT. It's hard to set the colors on both to match just so, but it most certainly isn't impossible. Hardest thing to work with is getting saturation equal.
If you're really looking for an easy solution, I think nVidia had a utility for easy software based color correction that shipped with their VGAs, that was a breeze to set up on my Quadro FX. If your Video card came with a support disc, that's the first place to check.
